>>29875>he's obviously the self-insert of his whedonite VAExcept he isn't. HBomber literally made a bunch of shit up and over a decade later faggots still regurgitate his nonsense.
Aspects of a Self-Insert: Being a Mary Sue/Gary Stu, wish fulfilment (e.g. romantic), similarities to the author, the plot revolving around them.
1) The character was not created by Miles, it was created specifically by Monty with the intent of being a narrative foil to Ruby; the underdog that has to work his way up compared to the child-prodigy, a classic anime trope (Sasuke and Naruto, Vegeta and Goku etc.) just without the antagonist-rivalry. Monty and Kerry were the ones who asked Jaune to be written into many of the Early Volume episodes (pic rel). Jaune and Miles are pretty different, none of Miles' real life is seen in Jaune's story.
2) Jaune's "romantic wish fulfillment" is non-existant, the person he was into (Weiss) rejected him and he stopped going after her. Pyrrha was largely a one-sided crush by her and was never going to pan out; Monty planned for her to die from the beginning.
3) Jaune is so far from a Gary Stu it's not even funny, he's literally the least competent of them all at the beginning of the story, and his learning curve doesn't suddenly have him become the bestest evar! He fails often, makes mistakes and isn't at all perfect. He has character flaws that he overcomes through natural progression. He isn't handed it.
>he gets far more development than NR Because he is a main character and a contrast to Ruby.
>even PRWBY HAHAHAHA no. Pyrrha literally has entire subplots dedicated to her. RWBY had their trailers and most of Volume 1 and 2 to solidify their initial relationships. Jaune got 3-4 episodes out of the first 3 Volumes and he is in the same roster as Ruby. Pyrrha was a secondary character of the main cast like Nora and Ren.
>barely any payoff >autophilic highschool faggotryYou haven't actually watched the show. This isn't an argument, you're just making a claim that there is no pay off and some pseudointellectual gobbledygook about autophilicism.
So far his character has changed as a hero, from a foolish kid with dreams of heroism to someone th
